What is it?

Blockchain is a virtual storage system for transactions using bitcoin currency that doesn't require a bank or other transfer facility but instead transfers funds straight to your virtual wallet. That means your money can start working for you and your business immediately instead of the bank.

Simply stated, it is an important overlay on the top of the Internet. It uses the direct way of least opposition and slowly becomes decentralized on the way to the boundaries of any network.

With the help of Blockchain, it is easy to exchange the value of assets, and you will get a quick rail to change the different values devoid of any mediators. This book is designed to share Blockchain and the future of this Internet innovation. You can learn the application of this technology. Questions about security?
